Ultraman grunts? Call me Space Policeman outside!

In that case, he will do his part.

His body soared into the higher sky, preparing to leave this place.

It was as if he had only appeared here to help them eliminate the rampaging Pedan aliens.

"We will meet again."

Bemula left those words behind and disappeared into the sky.

And after he left.

The man in the floral shirt also walked to the vicinity of this side of the street, smiling and waving at them: "Hey—"

"This guy..."

Moroboshi Dan turned his gaze away from the direction Bemular had left and looked towards Natsuki, already planning how to find fault with her later.

He thought... the Dark Star matter should be over by now.

Next, normally they should exchange a few sarcastic remarks and then prepare to return to the Japanese branch's base so that Natsuki can explain what happened.

He wasn't the only one who thought this way; the soldiers present also wore smiles of relief on their faces.

Shinjiro and Hokuto Seiji were still waving excitedly at Natsuki.

People around the world who witnessed Ultraman defeating the monster are still celebrating Ultraman's return after forty years.

"That's... Ed?"

"Zettonians?"

Suddenly, a huge phantom appeared in the city of New York. The figure was able to look directly at the World Trade Center, which was over 500 meters high. Hokuto Seisi noticed the anomaly, looked up at the figure, and was full of doubt.

It was a projection of a Zettonian, who looked almost exactly like Ed. The only difference was that the other person was wearing a white suit and was looking at everything on Earth with his hands behind his back.

The same figure appeared not only in New York City, but also in every city in other countries, in the living rooms of every household.

"Hello, everyone on Earth."

"My sudden appearance will probably confuse many people."

"Then... let me introduce myself. I am the current ruler of this universe, the supreme ruler of the Zetton core—Damd."

Dressed in a white suit, Damud conveyed his message to all intelligent life on Earth. His deep, emotionless voice emanated through endless projections, resounding throughout the entire planet.

"Zetton Core?"

"The ruler of the universe?"

Upon hearing this, Hayata Shinjiro froze on the spot, as the information the other party had provided was beyond their comprehension.

They had always thought that the only thing they had to deal with was the Star Cluster Council.

Then, the other person's words cleared up his doubts.

"I'm sure you all already have some understanding of the Star Cluster Council."

"We, the Zetton Core, created the Cluster Council so that all races in the universe could form a whole, a truly civilized whole that abandons primitive chaos and embraces order."

"Now, please allow me to ask a question."

What are your thoughts on Ultraman?

Damd asked this question to all of humanity, his hands behind his back.

A ruler from a higher civilization who wants to communicate with humanity doesn't even need to waste time on bureaucratic formalities; he can communicate with all of humanity on his own.

"Ultraman..."

"Is that even a question?"

“That’s our hero.” Yosuke Endo said without hesitation, looking at the Zetton alien projection in the square that was looking at them.

"Ultraman is a hero."

"They are heroes who saved us and saved the Earth."

The vast majority of people gave the same answer, and that is the answer of humankind.

"An answer that was exactly what I expected."

"From a human perspective, Ultraman is indeed a hero with a magnificent image."

"But let's imagine what would happen if Ultraman didn't side with you, but instead sided with other aliens and believed that humans were evil?"

Damd's enormous projection blocked out part of the dawn's light, and his words were accompanied by a tremendous sense of oppression.

“They will not hesitate to attack humanity, just as they would not hesitate to wipe out other races in the universe.”

"Ultraman, or rather his race, the Ultraman race, is a race that decides the life and death of other races solely based on subjective good and evil, and this is quite dangerous."

"As long as they believe you are evil, they will use their immense power to wipe you out."

"There was no order, only... brutal savagery."

"It is undoubtedly wrong for all civilizations in the universe to worry about whether they meet Ultraman's standards of good and evil."

"Therefore, in order to establish order in this universe, we have cleared away the obstacle called [Ultraman]."

“We do not hold prejudices against any race. In our order, every race has the need to continue, and humans are the same in our eyes.”

"We have cleared away the remaining monsters that plagued the earth for you, brought you new technologies, and kept away countless invaders."

"We are also looking forward to the day when humanity will shed its ignorance and travel with us through the stars."

Damd's voice was incredibly moving, telling all of humanity truths they had never known before.

He directly told humanity about the current state of the Earth.

Xia Shu looked at the huge projection, a hint of anger in her eyes.

His fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "So it's you...?"

Chapter 452 Damd

"As a Zettonian, I must be untrustworthy in your eyes."

"After all, in your understanding, the Zettonians were the last invaders on Earth forty years ago."

Damd's projection moved slightly across the various cities, speaking to all of humanity in a leisurely manner.

But that's not the case.

"The Zettonians, who came to Earth forty years ago, had the purpose of eliminating evidence of contact between humans and Ultraman, and destroying Ultraman."

"That's to protect humanity."

"At that time, Earth did not have the ability to reach the stars. Our council strongly opposed Ultraman's contact with humans, but they ignored us arbitrarily."

"They even chased a monster called Bemular all the way to Earth, causing giant monsters on Earth to gradually awaken."

"I know that in your eyes, Ultraman came to save humanity."

"But the truth is... he was just trying to make up for his mistakes."

"Bemular's arrival led to the awakening of Earth's monsters, and Ultraman himself directly caused the death of a human. Furthermore... the reason why alien invaders would target Earth was because Ultraman arbitrarily refused the Star Cluster Council on behalf of humanity. Planets not protected by the Star Cluster Council are naturally prime targets for invaders."

"I think you should be able to understand this."

"After all, it's easy to see that before Ultraman appeared, there was never a period of frequent monster disasters on Earth."

Damd's projection opened its arms and revealed the truth about Ultraman in this universe.

The situation in this universe is ultimately different from that in other universes.

"The Ultra race is a race that is out of control and decides the fate of other races based solely on their own subjective will."

"They consistently refused to join the Interstellar Alliance, were unwilling to accept the control of the order, and obstructed the actions of the Star Cluster Council. Our elimination of them was a last resort."

"And now."

"Another Ultraman has appeared on Earth."

"The same lack of control and arbitrary actions necessitate their elimination to prevent a repeat of the past."

As Damd spoke, all the projections in New York City seemed to turn their heads and look towards the streets of Queens, towards the man in the floral shirt.

"Fellow travelers on Earth, please allow me to reiterate."

"The Star Cluster Council has never harbored any ill will towards humanity; our only target is Ultraman."

"It is the appearance of Ultraman that led to the Earth being attacked by us. Please never forget this."

Damd said.

The enormous projection slowly raised an index finger, making the Statue of Liberty in New York look exceptionally small in comparison.

Accompanied by a crisp snap of fingers.

The sun's rays were completely blocked, and the world...was plunged into utter darkness.

"Is it getting dark?"

"Why, so suddenly?"

"what happens?"

"That Zettonian attack?"

"It arrived so quickly!?"

"I don't want to die!"

The world was plunged into darkness, and people all over the world were instantly thrown into panic. This ability to plunge the world into darkness in an instant was truly bizarre.

In a time when fear continues to grow in people's hearts.

Another crisp snap of fingers.

The world returned to normal.

"Ultraman on Earth."

"You are incapable of challenging the order."

"You will only bring harm to other humans on Earth." Damd's projection looked at the man in the floral shirt, his voice resounding throughout the world.
